Lynette Crane, M.A. (Psychology) and Certified Life Coach, was painfully crippled by shyness for decades. Now she is a professional speaker - and she's still an introvert. After creating a class on "The Psychology of Shyness and Self-Esteem" at City College of San Francisco, which she taught for 14 years, she felt compelled to write the book which reflects the experience she amassed. In The Confident Introvert, she has laid out the exact path she took to get from that earlier state of loneliness and anxiety to a life of joy and freedom.
